Section layout that helps you navigate by subsystem
The chapter map is grouped into “Repairs & Overhaul” for engine and supporting systems (cooling/heating/ventilation, fuel delivery, exhaust/emissions, ignition/charging, starting), followed by transmission (clutch/manual/automatic/driveshafts), then brakes & suspension and body systems. A separate reference area lists dimensions/weights, torque references, vehicle identification, and glossary/index pages for quick cross-checking.
Boundaries and variant cues worth noting
The printed scope is petrol-only for S40/V40 in the stated year window, and the contents explicitly call out a separate path for GDI vs non-GDI fuel-system coverage. If your car falls outside the 1996–Mar 2004 bracket or uses a diesel powertrain, that’s the earliest mismatch signal based on the cover and contents labeling.
